NServicebus DNS Entry for Machine location

I am trying to use a DNS entry for my NServicebus queue endpoint but no messages are being sent. It works fine when I enter the computer name or an IPAddress. I can ping the record and it resolves correctly so i'm wondering if it is possible to use a DNS record? Here is my config:

<MessageEndpointMappings>
  <!--These are the messages which need to be sent to the BusService  -->
  <add Messages="BusCommon.BusHeartBeatMessage, BusCommon" Endpoint="[email protected]" />
</MessageEndpointMappings>

Thanks

  • Msmq and DNS is a bit tricky.
